Goodreads Giveaway - Another Giveaway for Sebastian's Poet!
There's currently a Goodreads Giveaway going on for both of my novels. See the descriptions and links below:

Summer on Fire Goodreads Giveaway:

http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...summer-on-fire

Zach Carson is a loyal friend. But is loyalty enough to keep best friends together when one of them sets fire to the rural barn they use as the local hangout? Zach, Jeff Barsell and Arnie Wilson struggle to pick up the pieces when news spreads that a body was discovered in the burnt out shell of the neighbouring home. When the word murder is used by the local police, the stakes grow even higher. When the police start searching for their most likely suspect-none other than Jeff's older brother, and nemesis, Marty Barsell-the boys decide to join forces and come up with a way to prove his innocence. But just how innocent is Marty Barsell? When Marty admits to being at the scene of the crime, the three friends enlist the help of Zach's annoying sister, Sherry, as well as the sympathetic town eccentric, Ms. Halverton. But can they keep it together long enough to save Marty, and themselves, from imminent catastrophe? Summer on Fire is the story of friendships, and the lines we are asked to cross in order to keep them.

Sebastian's Poet Goodreads Giveaway:

http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...bastian-s-poet

Sebastian Nelson is a boy in search of a family. Abandoned by his mother, Sebastian is left with a broken father who doesn’t even seem present when he does show up. Forced to be the main caregiver of his younger brother, Renee, and lost in a sea of indifference, Sebastian only wants to experience the love a real, stable family could afford him.

One morning he discovers the famous folksinger, Teal Landen, asleep on the sofa. Teal’s nurturing nature brings an immediate sense of security into Sebastian’s tumultuous life. But a dark secret looms between Teal and Sebastian’s father of a hidden past. Sebastian is driven to discover their secret, but also he’s aware of how tenuous their hold on Teal really is. He doesn’t want to lose the feeling of home Teal’s presence has brought him.

If Sebastian pushes too hard, he could lose Teal forever. He could be destined to raise his younger brother alone, while witnessing the total decline of his emotionally devastated father. If Sebastian is abandoned by the only healthy influence in his otherwise shaky existence, he will also be forever in the dark about the secret that will reveal so much about his fractured family.



Both giveaways will run until NOVEMBER 30th, at which time Goodreads will randomly pick winners for the signed copies of both books!

Thanks and Good Luck!

Kevin, I signed up to win Summer on Fire.

Just wanted to give a little plug for Sebastian's Poet to anyone who hasn't read it yet: This is a a beautiful book, so well written and poignant.

Hi KTC, I meant to tell you before - as it is only open to those from USA, Canada and GB, I can't enter. I did the same initially, when I offered my book (3 copies) on Goodreads. I think those are the countries on the default list.

It was only when it was three days to the end of the giveaway period that a friend noticed and suggested I opened it to the whole world. Requests shot up from 156 to nearly 700 in three days. My book was suddenly exposed to a far bigger group who have the ability to buy online if they so choose.

I sent all three copies by surface mail from S'pore, which will take about 6 to 8 weeks. Goodreads told me that winners know they have to wait for up to 8 weeks for their book.

Just thought you might want to consider opening it up, just for the increased interest and exposure.

All the best, regardless of your decision :-)
